Listen to messages from Worship Encounters as well as special content.
What does it take to truly reconnect with God? In Leviticus 8, we see the preparation of a priest, cleansed, clothed, and consecrated for holy purpose. In Ready To Reconnect, Pastor Todd Doxzon reminds us that through Christ we have been made kings and priests, called to live set apart and represent Him in the world. Reconnection does not happen by accident. It begins when we allow God to cleanse us through His Word, clothe us in Christ, and consecrate every part of our lives to His purposes. When we position our ears to hear His voice, our hands to serve, and our feet to walk in His ways, we step into the life He has prepared for us. The world has yet to see what God can do through one person fully dedicated to Him, and by His grace, that can be us.

What happens when a marriage slowly drifts off course without anyone noticing? In Ephesians 4 and 5, we see that God's design for marriage is not built on feelings alone, but on intentional love, honor, kindness, and forgiveness. In this special marriage conversation, Pastor Todd and Denise Doxzon are joined by Marriage Coaches Kevin and Bree Bailey to unpack what it means for husbands to love like Christ, for wives to respond with respect, and for both to choose grace when it would be easier to withdraw.Strong marriages do not grow by accident. They grow through daily sacrifice, tenderhearted forgiveness, and choosing covenant over convenience. When we reflect Christ in the way we love, serve, and respond to one another, we position our marriages to rise instead of drift and experience the kind of relationship God designed from the beginning.

What happens after God delivers us—but before we're fully transformed? In Exodus 16, we see that freedom from Egypt doesn't automatically mean freedom from an Egypt mindset. In Daily Manna, Pastor Mike O'Connell walks us through the story of God providing bread from heaven to show that while miracles can rescue us in a moment, transformation is formed through daily dependence on God. God uses miracles to get us out of Egypt, but He uses daily formation to get Egypt out of us. As our church celebrates a powerful move of the Holy Spirit and lives being changed, this message calls us deeper—not just to momentary encounters, but to lifelong discipleship. When we learn to gather daily manna, become self-feeders in God's Word, and trust Him one day at a time, we are shaped into people who walk in lasting freedom and experience God's best for our lives.

What happens when trusting God requires surrender instead of certainty? In Genesis 22, we see that God doesn't test Abraham to harm him, but to reveal and strengthen his faith. In Tested To Be Trusted, Pastor Mike O'Connell walks us through this powerful moment to show that faith is refined when we respond quickly, worship fully, and obey God even when the cost feels high.Faith does not grow by avoiding the test. It grows by passing through it. When we stop asking how to escape the challenge and start asking what God is producing in us, we position ourselves to experience His provision, walk in His promises, and trust Him at a deeper level than ever before.

What happens when faith stops being an idea and starts becoming action? In Genesis 12, we see that God grows our faith not by giving us all the details, but by inviting us to trust Him with our yes. In Faith That Follows, Pastor Mike O'Connell unpacks the story of Abraham to show that real faith is formed when we listen to God's voice, reject the idols that keep us stuck, and take steps of obedience—even when the outcome isn't clear.Faith does not grow in comfort or certainty. It grows in movement. When we choose obedience over excuses and trust God without waiting for perfect clarity, we position ourselves to walk in His promises, reflect His goodness, and experience God's best for our lives.

What happens when God's Word becomes the final authority in your life? From the very beginning, Scripture shows us that God's Word is the source of all life, clarity, and purpose. In God Said It, Pastor Mike O'Connell reminds us that a miracle mentality begins when we stop questioning what God has spoken and start trusting it fully. When God's Word is challenged, confusion follows, but when it is obeyed, fruitfulness always flows. On this Commissioning Sunday, we anchor our lives in a simple but powerful truth. If God said it, that settles it. As we choose to live under the authority of His Word, we position ourselves to experience God's best for our lives.
